Published on July 18, 2024

Ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics & Paralympic Games, France commissioned some of its best chefs to craft sustainable, delicious and healthy dishes for the athletes to eat in the Olympic Village. We got a sneak peek of some of the dishes, including tandoori chicken crafted by Michelin-star chef Akrame Benallal and a Middle Eastern plant-based sweet potato dish by executive chefs of Sodexo Live!, Charles Guilloy and Stéphane Chicheri.
Scroll down to see 3 recipes the chefs have cooked up for the 2024 Paris Olympic games!

Charles Guilloy’s Za’atar Sweet Potato, Hummus and Chimichurri
“I wanted to create a recipe that combines produce that will also be present in the Village’s main dining hall, and which the athletes will be able to use to create their own dishes. Hummus is rich in vegetable proteins from chickpeas, while sweet potato adds a natural sweetness. The chimichurri sauce adds a touch of acidity and dynamism to the dish. Finally, the cashew nuts add crunchiness and are of excellent nutritional value.” – Charles Guilloy

Akrame Benallal’s Tandoori Chicken
“In keeping with his unique and cosmopolitan universe, in which flavours provide an invitation to travel, chef Akrame Benallal will offer the athletes at Paris 2024 the chance to follow him on his culinary journey with a chicken tandoori featuring spices from the Silk Road.”

Stéphane Chicheri’s Almado-style Bread Salad
“This recipe is first and foremost an “anti-waste” dish, because it gives a second life to a tomato salad and old bread from the previous day. Over the years it has become a signature dish, combining authentic flavours of tomato, farmhouse bread, onion, garlic and basil. This summer creation can be served on its own, with a side dish, at room temperature or even hot.” – Stéphane Chicheri
